Crazy American Things – My Summary of the States


1.       Self filling petrol
Place the pump in the petrol bit and go sit in your car while it fills up.

2.       Self flushing toilets
In most public toilets, stand up and the toilet will automatically flush. If your name is Kathy it may even flush while you are still sitting...

3.       Giant alcohol bottles
1.75L plastic bottles of spirits and wine, complete with a plastic handle so you don’t even need to bother with a cup.

4.       $35 Grey Goose Vodka
So cheap!

5.       Peanut butter in chocolate
At least 50% of the chocolate bars on offer had peanut butter somehow included. Americans like chocolate and peanut butter.

6.       Self starting cars
Start the car while you’re still walking to it. I think this is mainly so that in winter the car gets warm and in summer the car gets cool before you get in. However, it is unusual to walk past a car as it is starting with no one behind the wheel!
